Man of all seasons

As soon as he enters the office, there’s a burst of energy. His smile lights up our sleepy computers as does his far-reaching voice. He’s the head, heart and soul of Filmfare. Yes, we are talking about none other than our editor Jitesh Pillaai. You’d expect that because his world revolves around glitz and glamour, there would be stardust on him as well. But his down to earth attitude is what’s most inspiring. He’s an encyclopedia in Hindi films and music – something, which perhaps renowned websites cannot boast of. Almost like Einstein he can solve a difficult-to-come headline, lend a twist to a story and add mojo to a feature. He’s a boss, who isn’t and a mentor who is. Wishing the young-at-heart and fabulous Jitesh Pillaai a rocking birthday.
